Like remote could work for garage, has more than 1 meaning, and control would be a slam dunk c7, but it's also part of the acronym, so nah.

Could it be park? Has more than one definition and Central could be the c7.

I imagine there's better clues than this tho.

park is a great fit, except nich probably would have thought of metered, recreation, and garage... for m r g

right?

and i can't think of r2 hitting park either. i don't think rc gets park

i used to love this racing game on nintendo RC pro am.. that kinda fits with garage, but RC pro am is probably too obscure

RV hits park. Not so sure about metered, but Recreation would've been a great clue, and someone probably would've thought of that.

Still, I don't have anything better and they really aren't expecting us to get this anyway, so maybe we just go with it? I'm kinda done thinking about it, but feel free keep working on it of course.

Park is pretty cold

I can now discuss ideas but I can’t bold another word since I already did this round

I think the only idea to discuss is c7

Yeah there are two c7 words

I’m fine with either tho I like the second more, but tough to know which people are thinking of

You can just bold now; we already discussed it earlier and everyone agreed

Wait, so it is remote? But that would've made the RC clue illegal. Am I missing something?

RC = Radio Controlled, not Remote Control

Had D1iab not said the above, then clicker certainly could/should have been up for consideration over control.

yeah, clicker was my better c7 than control

but given he said control would be slam dunk, you are right

btw, GREAT JOB figuring out it was remote...just a hiccup with my r2 option

my r5 was rural, which I thought had a decent shot, but I liked garage better as fewer things to think about and then get to remote -> c7 is control or clicker
